Silencer Central, the nation's most trusted suppressor retailer, is proud to announce that it has been ranked No. 1801 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks Silencer Central's fourth consecutive year of being honored among the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses.
"This is becoming one of my favorite traditions," said Brandon Maddox, Silencer Central's Founder and CEO, "And it's a testament to our amazing team and incredible customers." The Inc. 5000 list recognizes companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of their industries. Rankings on the list are based on revenue growth percentages measured over a three-year period.
Maddox continued, "People may not understand that it really is not easy to make the Inc. 5000 year after year; with each year of growth, the bar gets set even higher. I'm really proud of the fact that we've built a business that has been able to make the list for four years running. That doesn't happen by accident, and it's proof of the value and exceptional service we continue to provide our customers."
To be eligible for the Inc. 5000 list, a company must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. The company must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent as of December 31, 2025. Companies on the 2026 list are ranked based on their percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024.
Over the past 20 years, Silencer Central has steadily grown into the nation's trusted leader for suppressor sales. The company pioneered delivered-to-your-door service, and continues to streamline the process, making it easier to buy and own a suppressor in the 42 states where it is legal.
